I'd like try and back up to the server hard disk. Unfortunately, the server only has 90GB which is not enough for the VM backup. Is it a problem to create a new storage device on /var/lib/vz? It has plenty of space. Attached is a screenshot of what i'm talking about.
This VM OS is Small Business Server 2011 and it's main funtions are MS Sql Database server for our website, Exchange Server, and shared drives. Here is the vmid.conf output:
name: Small_Business_Server
ide2: cdrom,media=cdrom
vlan0: e1000=79:34:44:CA:46:6R
bootdisk: ide0
ostype: w2k8

vzdump.conf currently has:
size:100
Like I said in the prior post, I've changed this to other values. 1000, 2000, 4000. Snap% always hits 100 and the backup hangs.
pvdisplay:
virt0:/etc# pvdisplay
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/sda2

I have set up backups through the Proxmox Backup screen on the web interface using snapshot mode (screenshot attached). I'm backing up to a 1.5TB external USB drive. For smaller VMs, the backups work just fine. For the two large VMs, over 100GB, the backups hang. I was able to get one of the...
I found this thread which answered my question.

Here is what I did. Now both usb devices show up in Windows.
qm set 105 -hostusb=04b9:0300,0bc2:3300
Is it possible to passthrough two usb devices to a Windows XP virtual machine? I can only get one device to work at a time. The most recent command that I run will be the device that shows up when Windows boots. Here is what i'm trying.
qm set 105 -hostusb=04b9:0300

Ok, so it doesn't as simple as I previously thought. I found this. http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Paravirtualized_Block_Drivers_for_Windows. Looks like I have to:
1. Turn off the VM
2. Add a new disk as Virtio
3. Turn on VM
4. Install Virtio Drivers in Windows.
In this tutorial, it says I need...
By using Virtio, do you just mean select Virtio from the "Bus:" drop down? If so, do I use "Device: Virtio 0:0"? Looks simple enough. Will this require a reboot?
I have recently started a new job and have inherited a Proxmox box with a Windows Small Business Server 2011 virtual machine. I know very little about Proxmox so i'm trying to learn as I go. There is 800 gb of storage free on the server and I want to add 300GB of that to the Windows VM. I...
